Frequently Asked Questions - HWQ08XCT HAIER

How to install the air conditioner in a window?
Installation must be done in a double hung window. Ensure the opening has a width of 66.2 to 99.7 cm and a height of 34 cm. Attach the upper slide, side panels, and sealing gaskets. Center the unit on the window sill with a downward tilt of 6.4 to 12.7 mm to the outside, then lower the sash. Secure the side hardware and side panels to the window. Plug the power cord into a three-prong grounded outlet.
How to use the remote control?
Remove the back cover and insert two AAA batteries. Use the POWER, MODE, SPEED, TIMER, TEMP UP/DOWN, SLEEP, LOCK, LIGHT, RESET, and F/C buttons. The remote allows you to select modes, speeds, timer, etc. Batteries should be replaced every six months or when weak.
What to do if the air conditioner does not start?
Check that the power cord is plugged into a three-prong grounded outlet. If the cord has an LCDI, press the RESET button. Make sure the unit is turned on via the control panel or remote. Also check the household fuse or circuit breaker.
How to clean the air filter?
The FILTER indicator lights up after 240 hours of operation. Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the air filter (open the front panel or pull the filter). Clean it with a vacuum or warm soapy water. Dry it completely before replacing. Never use a dishwasher or chemicals. Reinstall the filter and press FILTER RESET.
What do the different modes mean?
The modes are: Cool to cool, Fan to circulate air without cooling, Energy Save where the fan stops when the compressor stops, and Dehum to reduce humidity without strong cooling.
How to set the timer?
For a timer off, press TIMER until the Timer Off indicator lights, then set the delay from 1 to 24 hours with the TEMP/TIME buttons. For a timer on, press TIMER until Timer On and set. To clear, press TIMER until the indicator goes off.
Why is the unit making noise?
Normal noises include: air movement, clicking of water droplets on the coil, compressor hum, thermostat clicks, refrigerant gurgling. If the window vibrates, check the installation. Excessive noise may indicate an obstruction or incorrect installation.
How to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
On the unit's control panel, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. On the remote, simply press the F/C button to toggle between units.
What to do in case of water leakage?
If water drips inside, check that the unit is tilted 6.4 to 12.7 mm downward to the outside. Clean the filter and ensure drainage holes are not blocked. Never drill holes in the base. In humid weather, an outside drip is normal.
How to reset the filter indicator?
After cleaning and reinstalling the filter, plug in and turn on the unit. Press the FILTER RESET button (located on the control panel) to turn off the indicator. If the indicator does not go off, repeat or contact customer service.

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.

This section explains how to operate this air conditioner.

IMPORTANT:

- When you turn off the air conditioner, either at the control panel or with the remote control, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the compressor from overloading. This 3 minute delay also applies when switching from cool mode to fan and back.

Note: There is a built in 3 minute delay. You may notice the compressor might not start right away. This was designed to protect the unit.

- Do not operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when the outside temperature is below 61^ (16°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

Note:

COOL MIN: To reduce cooling capacity, point air directional louvers up.

COOL MAX: To maximize cooling capacity, point air directional louvers down.
